We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.\nAbove all else - our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.\nWHAT WE’LL NEED\nWe are seeking a strategic and highly credible Executive Recruiter to lead end-to-end execution of senior-level and executive corporate roles, including key international roles. This individual will own executive hiring from market mapping and sourcing strategy through offer negotiation and onboarding transition.\nThis role requires strong executive presence, sound judgement, and the ability to advise senior leaders as a talent strategist - not simply execute requisitions. The ideal candidate understands the pace, complexity, and performance orientation of the QSR/restaurant industry and can identify leaders who thrive in high-growth, operationally intense environments.\nKey Responsibilities:\nExecutive Search Strategy & Ownership\nLead full lifecycle recruitment for VP-level, Sr. Director level and other critical executive role across corporate and international leadership.\n\nDevelop and execute proactive sourcing strategies, including market mapping, competitor intelligence, and passive outreach.\n\nBuild diverse, high-caliber candidate pipelines aligned to succession and workforce planning priorities.\n\nIdentify and engage talent from QSR, franchised systems, and adjacent consumer-facing industries.\n\nTalent Intelligence & Continuous Improvement\nMaintain active talent pipelines for critical enterprise roles.\n\nTrack & analyze executive search metrics\n\nPartner with HRBPs and leadership to anticipate succession gaps and market risks\n\nSenior Leader Partnership\nServe as a strategic advisor to executive hiring managers and senior stakeholders.\n\nShape role design, success profiles, and candidate evaluation criteria.\n\nChallenge assumptions and calibrate expectations to ensure alignment with business needs.\n\nProvide market insights including talent availability and competitive landscape analysis.\n\nCandidate Assessment & Selection\nConduct rigorous executive-level screening and behavioural assessment.\n\nEvaluate candidates for enterprise leadership capability, operational fluency, scalability, and cultural alignment.\n\nFacilitate structured interview processes, calibration sessions, and decision discipline .\n\nEnsure high standards while balancing speed and quality. \nWHAT YOU’LL NEED\nRequired Experience\nMinimum of 7 years of recruiting experience, including executive search (in house or retained search firm)\n\nDemonstrated success placing VP-level or executive leadership roles\n\nExperience recruiting within QSR, hospitality, franchised systems, or high-growth consumer brands\n\nDemonstrated experience leading sensitive executive-level searches with strict confidentiality and exceptional discretion.\n\nProven ability to partner with senior executives and influence decision making\n\nInternational hiring is highly preferred, as is vendor management with international recruiting agencies.\n\nSkills & Capabilities\nHigh judgement and ability to assess enterprise leadership capability\n\nStrategic sourcing expertise, including direct outreach and market mapping\n\nSkilled at stakeholder management and expectation calibration\n\nData-informed, process disciplined, and highly organized.\n\nAbility to operate with urgency while maintaining quality and discretion.\n\nWHO YOU ARE \nNo job is too small. You recognize that the real work happens in the restaurants, and everything we do should support their success. You stay humble, roll up your sleeves, and always look for ways to help. You learn from others and contribute wherever you can.\nYou care deeply about doing great work and driving results. You’re curious, ask questions, and seek out opportunities to improve. You don’t just point out problems-you bring solutions, ideas, and perspectives that move the team forward.\nYou take full responsibility for your work and see things through to completion. You aren’t afraid to fail because you know that failure is a part of learning and growth. You take action, move fast, and keep pushing forward.\nYou lead with empathy, respect, and emotional intelligence. You collaborate effectively, fostering a culture of trust and constructive feedback. You understand the importance of teamwork and ensure that your actions build others up rather than break them down.\nYou push yourself and others to be better. You embrace healthy conflict, knowing that great ideas and strong teams emerge from honest, constructive conversations. You believe that leaders create leaders and are committed to fostering a culture of growth, challenge, and continuous improvement.\nBENEFITS\nFLAVOR PERKS:\nUnlimited paid time off for exempt employees\n\nOne paid volunteer day of your choice\n\nCompetitive bonus structure for eligible roles\n\nTeam member stock purchase plan\n\nHealth savings or flexible spending account options\n\n401k - (dollar for dollar on the first 3% and then 50 cents on the dollar for the next 2% for team member contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation)\n\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits\n\nBasic life and AD&D insurance provided\n\nPet insurance\n\nEducation Assistance\n\nWellness reimbursement program\n\nPaid maternity and paternity leave\n\nFUN IS THE BEST FLAVOR:\nLunch provided every Tuesday and Thursday in office\n\nDiscount on Wingstop gift cards\n\nOnsite game room\n\nWingstop provides equal opportunities for everyone that works for us and everyone that applies to join our team, without regard to sex or gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, any service, past, present, or future, in the uniformed services of the United States (military or veteran status), or any other consideration protected by federal, state, or local law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6569,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Education assistance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T08:44:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":66,"reasons":["conf:6","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingstop-executive-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wingstop-executive-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T10:49:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14111,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1757782},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1757782"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwingstop-executive-recruiter"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwingstop-executive-recruiter"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwingstop-executive-recruiter"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wingstop-executive-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwingstop-executive-recruiter"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3141646}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wingstop.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3141646},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
